En lenguaje claro
This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives, not a change to state law. It honors Joyce Carter Stevens, who was raised in Adel, Georgia, and worked as Vice-President of Sales and Marketing at Del-Cook Lumber Company from 1964 to 1981 before becoming heavily involved in Republican Party politics. The resolution recounts her career, including serving as Executive Director of the Georgia Republican Party from 1981 to 1983, running as the first female candidate on a general election ballot in Georgia for the Public Service Commission in 1984, and founding the Stevens Group with her husband in 1995. The House resolves to recognize and commend her for her public service and directs the Clerk of the House to prepare a copy of the resolution for her.
